Genmakers takes its first steps in Hollywood! 🎥⭐️🇺🇸

I can finally lift the veil on a very special mission… For over a month now, I’ve been working on Season 2 of House of David, the hit series streaming on Amazon Prime.

And what an adventure: the show is currently #2 on Prime US, with over 22 million viewers worldwide!

For the first time, a major Hollywood production has brought AI Artists directly into the VFX team — a pioneering initiative led by the amazing folks at Wonder Project. It’s been an incredible honor to be part of this experience alongside @HBCoop_ @CharaspowerAI , and @LudovicCreator .

Diving behind the scenes of such a massive project, walking through stunning sets, collaborating with passionate teams… it’s a rare privilege. I’m proud that @Gen_makers was able to contribute to this new creative era.

In this video, @JonErwin13 explains how AI was used for the very first time in Episode 6 of Season 1, released last Thursday, and how — in his view — generative AI is transforming the future of cinema. A bold and innovative vision that I fully share.

Huge thanks to @JeffSynthesized for this opportunity, to @filmsoup for making it all possible, and to @JonErwin13 for his trust, vision, and inspiring creativity.

And this is just the beginning… Let’s go!

For the curious minds out there, here are some of the tools we use daily:
•@freepik for its all-in-one creative suite
•@midjourney (because… well, Midjourney!)
•@Magnific_AI for enhancement and restyle
•@Kling_ai (because… Kling!)
•@runwayml Gen-3 and Restyle First Frame
•@OpenAI Sora for remixing, and ChatGPT for prompt refining
•@LumaLabsAI for action scenes
•@Hailuo_AI for Director Mode and image creation
•https://t.co/8kU7XP2DN7 for live painting and video training
•@rendernet_ai AI for swapping tools
•@pika_labs for its addition tools
•@seelab_app for unmatched LoRA training

…And of course, many more depending on the specific needs of each project.

@Uncanny_Harry @ButchersBrain @NemPerez @swaymolina @t2remake @JeffSynthesized @MetaPuppet Two years ago I was just making small films and posting them online. Now I’m running an AI studio working with directors and studios I never imagined I’d even talk to — and I barely have time to post anymore. Thanks again for making this project such a milestone.

[PJ Ace @PJaccetturo]

RIP Hollywood.

AI is now 100% photorealistic with the launch of Kling 3.0

In just two days, I created the opening sequence from The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

You have to try this new Multi-Shot technique that makes making films much faster and cheaper 🧵👇

Over the past few days, I’ve been testing a particularly promising 3D + AI workflow, thanks to my friend @ChekouhYou76184 , Head of 3D at Else.

The starting point was simple — and smart:
👉 working with intentionally untextured 3D characters, in order to test whether AI could take over the final visual refinement: colors, skin textures, micro-details, shading, imperfections, wear…

The result is, honestly, exceptional.

The Nano Banana Pro + Magnific combo (with their new Skin Enhancer model) delivers a massive time gain on what can sometimes represent up to 80% of 3D work: texturing.

👉 Where this workflow becomes truly exciting is when applied to virtual production. We can already start to see the potential time savings in environment creation, especially when combined with camera tracking, rapid iteration, and visual prototyping.

This is not about replacing 3D expertise, but about intelligently shifting creative effort to where it brings the most value.

💡 Clearly, one of the key workflows to explore in 2026 for 3D, VFX, and virtual production.

Huge credit to @ChekouhYou76184 for these stunning models — and I’m looking forward to pushing these tests even further 🚀

@JeffSynthesized stands among the most brilliant AI artists I’ve ever met. His visionary ambition and masterful attention to detail make him a director whose work commands deep respect.

Congratulations on crafting such a truly epic scene.

[LudovicCreator @LudovicCreator]

It was a great experience to experiment what is the future for me ..

And we learned a lot with @CharaspowerAI ,@Gen_makers and @HBCoop_ beside @JeffSynthesized

@JeffSynthesized You finally did it 🔥👌 I need a scene breakdown now ;)

[Genmakers @Gen_makers]

I’m genuinely blown away by the lipsync performance of the new @Kling_ai 2.6 model.

Not only is the accuracy significantly improved, but the overall acting feels far more natural as well. Voice fidelity still isn’t perfect yet, but the leap forward is undeniable.

So I took the opportunity to test it with a pitch I’ve been developing over the past few days: ATLAS – The Final Message.

Huge congratulations to the teams behind this outstanding model!

@LudovicCreator @SupportMarkets @HBCoop_ @CharaspowerAI @PXK_777 So happy to have the team back together for exciting projects !

[Genmakers @Gen_makers]

✨ There are moments when paths cross again for all the right reasons.

I’m beyond excited to share that I’m joining @AmazonMGMStudio
as an AI Creative Technologist & Digital Artist, alongside an incredibly talented team — @HBCoop_ , @CharaspowerAI , @LudovicCreator and @PXK_777.

This marks a new chapter at the intersection of art, technology, and storytelling, where imagination meets innovation.

It’s a beautiful way to close a year that’s been nothing short of transformative — a year filled with experimentation, bold ideas, creative risks, and inspiring encounters that have reshaped how I see the future of visual storytelling.

I’m deeply grateful to the team for their trust and shared vision — a vision that dares to push boundaries, explore the unknown, and rethink how stories can be imagined, designed, and experienced through the lens of AI.

Here’s to building what’s never been done before.
Let’s imagine the next frontier of storytelling. 🚀

I can't believe it. My name is in the credits for House of David - Season 2.

It's been an incredible journey. Season 2 is now streaming on @primevideo (US only) on the @watchonwonder channel.

Thank you so much to the team I worked with and many memories that were made on location in Greece with the VFX AI team: @LudovicCreator @CharaspowerAI @Gen_makers

This is a live action show with 600+ working long hours for months to make this happen.

I look forward to the future, with much gratitude for this experience 🤍

Here's a clip from Episode 1, with a few of our background assets:

Behind-the-scenes story of House of David – with Runway.

As part of the AI artist team on this production season 2, I can confirm that Runway played a key role in our creative workflow — among several other cutting-edge platforms that helped bring these ambitious visuals to life.

This article highlights how hybrid production — blending on-set shooting and AI-generated imagery — can now support large-scale storytelling at cinematic quality.
It’s exciting to see tools like Runway become part of this new creative ecosystem.
